<p><span style="font-size:14px;">Hello, Friends!&nbsp; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;">Below is a&nbsp;link to my FB page...please follow me here if you&#39;re on FB.&nbsp; Sometimes I have &quot;extra&quot; pots left over from a firing and sell them directly on my FB page.&nbsp; I also post updates more often there too because I can do it quickly from my phone.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Link:&nbsp;&nbsp;https://www.facebook.com/CropCircleClay/</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:14px;">Lots of PEACE pots in this batch!! &nbsp;These are the blue/green ones I&#39;m doing now. &nbsp;I use laser decals (that I print on my laser printer) and the iron oxide of the toner acts like a stain on the glaze when I fire them for the last time. &nbsp;So, the designs are permanent and part of the glaze! &nbsp;The designs will look sepia brown after they are fired instead of the black look they have now.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:14px;">I went to the studio late this afternoon to pull some handles for mugs&nbsp;that I threw last week. &nbsp;I still cannot get used to being in the studio without Buddy! &nbsp;It&#39;s just so lonely. &nbsp;He&#39;s been gone for over 3 months now. &nbsp;Can&#39;t believe it. &nbsp;Recently I found this pic of us from June, 2010. &nbsp;He was very healthy then and it brings a big smile to my face! I know I am very blessed to have had him with me for so long.&nbsp;&nbsp;Have a great day, friends!</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:14px;">Dear Friends:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;">Hello! &nbsp;In the US, today is Memorial Day where we remember our loved ones who fought for our freedoms. &nbsp;It is a bank-holiday also, so most of us get to have the day off from our day jobs. &nbsp;Yay! &nbsp;It&#39;s a beautiful day here in Ohio, sunny and about 75 degrees F. &nbsp;I&#39;m inside decorating pots in my current batch. &nbsp;It&#39;s tough to stay inside on such a beautiful day, but I have to take the time when I get it! &nbsp;My husband, Terry is outside working on his garden. &nbsp;</span></p><p><a href="http://www.cropcircleclay.com/blog/happy-memorial-day" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://www.cropcircleclay.com/blog/happy-memorial-day#commentsMon, 29 May 2017 16:28:08 +0000Diana Brower216 at http://www.cropcircleclay.comStill decorating...http://www.cropcircleclay.com/blog/still-decorating

<p><span style="font-size:16px;">I high-fired this current batch load to cone 5 which is about 2,300 degrees F and let them cool down slowly, about 12 hours.&nbsp; Brought them in the house last night to allow them to acclimate to the house temp.&nbsp; Tonight I&#39;m starting to decorate them!&nbsp; Wanted to share a picture with you!&nbsp; I&#39;ll try to get a photo as I&#39;m decorating in the next few days.</span></p><p><a href="http://www.cropcircleclay.com/blog/glaze-fire-done-decorating" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://www.cropcircleclay.com/blog/glaze-fire-done-decorating#commentsThu, 16 Mar 2017 00:14:53 +0000Diana Brower206 at http://www.cropcircleclay.comGlazing Today!
